Foreword
By Neil Brown, Testing Services Partner at Deloitte Consulting
Years ago, testing was an overhead expense.
Today, its the centerpiece of business strategy.
In financial services, for instance, it used to be that if your bank or insurance companys software wasnt delivering at the level you expected, you had the option to switch providers. However, switching entailed weeks or even months of effort and paperwork. When comparing the annoyance of an inconvenient application against the challenge of transitioning to a competitor, few felt it was worth the work. One tech titan in particular was infamous for limiting their amount of testing and releasing software with known issues because, despite them, the company knew users would come back for later updates. Their customers became, in effect, testers working for free.
Todays customers business or consumer wont stand for that. They have too many options that they can choose too easily. They can go buy a similar product, or perhaps even the same one, from dozens or hundreds of other providers. They can afford to be fickle.
The result is that companies can no longer afford failure in production and the ensuing impact on their consumers. As recently as six or seven years ago, financial services would prioritize speed to market, or the risk of a regulatory breach, over the users experience. It has taken significant issues like customers not having access to their funds or institutions mistakenly paying parties twice to highlight the costs of those choices. In many cases, a customer experience issue costs more than a regulatory breach or a legal challenge. The quality and usability of the end product has become far more mission-critical and, therefore, a far greater business focus.
Originally, testing was just part of a systems engineering role. As the complexity of programs increased, however, the software development industry realized we needed a more rigorous approach to quality. Even as that need arose and was recognized, testing was still seen as being on the far right-hand side of the delivery lifecycle, something to be squeezed into the project. Many saw it as an overhead to be ignored when at all possible.
I remember years ago going into an accounting software company and supporting them in developing their own testing practices and center of excellence. We faced enormous resistance because the rest of the organization didnt see the value. Its taken some fundamental shifts not only in development methodology but also in the mindset of companies for that to change. Now, testing and quality assurance have become central to whats happening.
